Hyperlocal Tokyo

I chose the Japanese chestnut premium and Jersey milk gelato at Patissiere MAYO, near Roppongi Midtown. It was 850 yen for two flavors. The price felt typical for Roppongi, but the taste was simply delicious. The gelato had a slightly firm texture. Purchases are made on the second floor, and I heard there's a terrace on the third floor. I'd love to enjoy it on the terrace next time. The baked goods also looked tempting and would be great for gifts.

You can enjoy gelato ice cream here. The third floor has a terrace, making it a great place to enjoy dessert after a meal while enjoying the cool evening air. Cash payments are not accepted, only electronic payments are available.

I recently bought some baked goods as a gift for a friend. The staff were very friendly and explained each item in detail. I also bought a "Poire Neige" for myself. It goes well with coffee and has a slightly firm meringue texture. The flavor was just okay. I'd like to try their gelato next time.

■ Miyazaki Mango 'Toki no Shizuku' Parfait This is a fully booked restaurant located in Roppongi. It's closed on Sundays, so it's hard to get there. This was my second visit, at a pop-up event. This time, they were at the Isetan Shinjuku store's 'ISEPAN' event. I lined up 30 minutes before opening and got the first elevator, securing the sixth spot. I was in the first group to be seated. The parfait using Miyazaki mango was delicious, although it was served in a rented glass, which was a bit smaller than the restaurant's usual glasses.

This gelato shop in Roppongi has business hours from 2 pm to 11 pm, a typical Roppongi style. You can choose two flavors for 750 yen. They have a lot of fruit flavors, which are more sorbet-like, so I chose almond and chocolate because I wanted a rich gelato. Although it was recommended as being richer than the other flavors, it was still quite refreshing. They also sell baked goods, pudding, and jam. I bought a plum jam for 800 yen, and it was delicious. They are cashless only.
